"Fleur, we need to take more pictures of each other, with each other." Elijah sighed as he looked through the pictures in his wallet.
"You have more pictures than money in there." Fleur pointed.
"Because I spend all my money on that one." Elijah nodded to Reid.
"Wh- No." Reid shook his head.
"Then where did all my money go? Hm?" Elijah raised a brow.
"For the cats."
"And not on those books?"
"Nope." Reid shook his head.
"Hm.. I'd rather have the photos anyway." Elijah shrugged.
"Derek keeps my money because I'd end up spending it all." Fleur hummed.
"Ain't that the truth." Morgan chuckled.
"Leave my spending habits alone." She pointed.
"Y'know, I don't think I will." Morgan shook his head.
"Eli, tell him." Fleur groaned.
"You two, man." Morgan chuckled.
"Hey, I'm just doing my part." Elijah shrugged.
"Thank you." Fleur hummed.
"You are most welcome." Не smiled.
"So, who's Hotch interviewing?" Morgan asked.
"Merrin, I think his name was." Reid nodded.
"Yeah.. He's claiming a shadow monster killed his wife." Fleur sighed.
"Y'know.. That's a new one." Elijah nodded slowly.
"Maybe he's just been high."
"Drugs can make you do wild things, but I don't think this guy had any history of substance abuse." Reid shook his head.
"You ever see shadow monster?" Fleur nudged Elijah.
"Oh, ha ha." Elijah rolled his eyes,"..Okay, maybe, I've seen some weird shit."
"Yeah?"
"Oh yeah."
"Once I saw-" Fleur began.
"Stop comparing traumas. Do you know how bad that is?" Reid pointed.
"We weren't even comparing that time, I said something and Fleur just so happened to want to regale me with a story of her own." Elijah crossed his arms.
"But if Fleur was to continue her trauma, you would add on, hm?" Reid looked at him.
"That's just called a conversation, baby. We're not trying to compare who had it worse because, let's face it, we've all been through some shit." Elijah pointed.
"Got a point." Morgan nodded.
"I always have a point."
"Not always."
"Most of the time." He shrugged.
"We got files for us to go through." JJ walked in.
"Come on you three." Morgan nodded.
Fleur hummed and walked through to the Conference Room with the others where files were already placed on the table for the team and they all quickly got to work.
"Alright, why don't we start with the simplist explanation? They're lying." Morgan shook his head as he looked up from a file.
"There are easier lies to tell to cover for murder." Fleur pointed,"Why tell the same one, especially one that doesn't make sense?"
